Thx, basically it worked, but not in my document unfortunately, because it will not display the header at beginning of the new chapter page, and I'm using "\renewcommand\subsection{\newpage\stdsubsection}" to force new page for each subsection (the nature of my reference I'm writing requires that and such headers), can we fix that?

@TMS please see my updated answer. I \let the plain style to be main, so first pages of chapters will also show the headers; I used a redefinition of \subsectionbreak (from the titlesec package) to allow each subsection to start on a new page.
